Backroads of Morrow County: Knees July 8, 2014

I took my annual knee-high tour of the back roads. My FSA demands an inspection. The Summer of Thunder has done a marvelous job. The corn fields of Morrow County are way past the knee-high by the fourth of July cliche. The houses at the back of the fields are already starting to disappear into the green landscape. Going to be a banner year for the farmer. There are a few low spots in some fields that have been flooded into mud. The soy beans are doing well too. And the wheat appears to be ready for harvest--at least to this non-farmer's eye. I imagine, though, that the fields are a little wet for harvesting. I suppose the farmers will plant something else in those fields once the wheat is in? The only field in all of Morrow County that looks pathetic is the one across the road from my place. They planted it late per usual, and the rains have turned a great deal of into one of those mud holes mentioned above. Anyway, FS has been vindicated again. To your knees world.
